as to carry with 1t the spectacle OF q
majestic presence and the authority OF
Il sublime moral force.
"Surssm corda! We Of little faith, and
We that have never faltered, put your
shoulders once again to the fore-wheel
OF the old democratic Carry-all, for never
did that trusty vehicle need them morep'

Mr.. @. W. Moulton, Of New York, Mr..
John Sherman's attorney, writes as fol.
lows 10 the New York Tribune: &c
Inrsply To absurd rumors that have been
travelling around the country for the last
Ave years, and more particularly In reply
to Washington dispatch in the New
York Times last Monday, which names me
"a an authority on the subject, allow me
to state the following facts: First, the
statement that Senator Sherman owns q
thousand ahares In the First National
Bank Of this city Ia false in every particu.
rar; he does!not own ehare In that bank
and never did own share In II. Second,
the statement that he owns bonds OF the
Union Pacific Railroad Ia entirely false !:
he does not own any Union Pacific bonds
and never has owned any Of them OF any
stock In that corporation. Third, the
shares held by him In the Httaburgh and
Fort Wayne road are held by him In trust,
jointly with General Caes, are Ia no seuae
his personal property; therefore, the
statement that he held stock in that cor.
poration Of $500 900 10 a falsehood. Fourth,
the statement that the Senator has be.
tween dtty and sixty houses In Washing.
ton, besides valuable lots, etc., Is not only
also untrue, but displaysa remarkable In.
genuity In lalHehood. There ia real CO.
tate agent In Washington by the name Of
John Sherman whose advertisements oil
houses for Gale and to rent are prominent
throughout tho city. The slgns upon these
houses and lots are the only conceivable
foundation for such groteeQue assertion.

Prohibition with Drug Store Reservation

Prohibition with Dru. Store Reservation.
Drug storea In Ohio, 60 elsewhere, are
easily turned into tippling houses when
the local appetite Is keen and .ae con.
science Of tho druggia. torpid. The
thirsty man never finds the world going
wrong with him when the hospitable drug
s!ore is open to him.
In Ohio, under tho Scot! law, and now,
under the Dow law, the druggists who de-
sire to do saloon business have had great
advantage over the men openly engaged
in that business. They could sell iuat as
bad liquor without paying any tax 30 long
as they were not obliged to step up to the
captains oiice.and settle. But the men
who pay the tax object to the discrimina.
ton, and 80 We hear OF the accommodat.
ing druggsts being made 10 toe the mark.
A case in point will serve to illustrate
the economic and moral side as we'll. In
the town OF Washington Court House the
druggists were selling without prescrip-
ton and without having paid the tax
Among the offenders was one Theodore

er Of the Third Party Psohibi.ionis's in
his county. Last year he was the Prohi-
bitionist nominee fo7 Auditor. He made
public speeches in which he denounced
the Dow law as compounds with the
devil" Mr.. Brown may have hung back
on the payment Of the tax because ho had
conscientious scrup!eH against "compro-
missing with the devil"
Men differ on matters OF conscience.
The Ohio mGa, who eeea no hope for the
country except in absolu:e prohibition,
quiets his conscience by paying no tag for
selling intoxicating beverages. He regards
revenue derived from liquor traffic as
blood.noney, and until he was compelled
to pay, he took the high moral ground
that he would contribute none OF that
objectional revenue to Che public treasury.
Another man, quite as earnest ss the
Ohio druggist, firmly convinced that while
men will drink men will be found to sell,
and being unwilling to let so dangerous
traffic 90 uurestrained, gives bis Influence
to such restraining lawa as can be enforced,
and has no idea tina! he is doing moral
wrong 10 make MIN pay who plays.
